Wow! To think someone may actually get to 10,000 posts. At a post a minute = 10000 minutes 10000 min = 166.667 hrs 166 hrs = 6.9 days Time to get started. 1 post each minute for a week.
As an engineer, I probably should have been more accurate in my estimate. It's fine for a purely man-hours schedule, but for a calender schedule I need to consider: * sleeping * eating * restroom breaks * general fatigue and potential loss of productivity * lack of useful things to say * average and standard deviation of the average post length to determine if 1 post per minute is even possible (we're not texting or tweeting here) * etc, etc, etc. In other words, I don't think I'll get there in a week.
Everyone builds slip into thier schedules. But in this case, i can double my efforts by posting from my iPhone while on the throne....
